Configuring Boot Parameters
4.1
4.2
OVERVIEW
To configure the StreamGroomer, a computer equipped with a serial DB9 connector or USB connectors is recommended.
If the computer has no serial connector, it is possible to use a USB to DB9 serial adapter cable that will be connected to the
USB port of the computer on one side and on the other side to the console cable provided with the StreamGroomer. In this
case, it can be necessary to install the specific software to use the z on the computer.
There are two methods to configure the boot IP parameters of a StreamGroomer:
•
With a computer connected to the StreamGroomer with the asynchronous cable on the console port (and optionally
the DB9 to USB converter): access to the boot menu of the SG
•
With a USB key: reboot the SG on a USB key containing a configuration file prepared with the StreamView application.
This method does not require a computer to configure the StreamGroomer.
Both methods are explained hereafter.

CONFIGURE STREAMGROOMER BOOT PARAMETERS WITH THE CONSOLE
4.3.1
Connect the computer to the SG4412
You have to connect a computer to on the console port of the StreamGroomer with the DB9 asynchronous cable (and the
additional DB9 to USB adapter cable). The asynchronous cable is provided with the SG4412. The asynchronous cable has a
RJ45 connector and a DB9 connector.
4.3.2
Configure the connection
To access the BOOT menu, you have to connect to the StreamGroomer through the asynchronous port via a DB9
asynchronous cable. The most well-known utilities are HyperTerminal, PuTTY or Teraterm for Windows. The configuration
has to be done manually by entering the asynchronous port settings as follows:
•
Speed
115200
bit/s,
•
Parity: NO,
•
Flow control: NO
•
1 stop bit,
•
8 bits of data.
